Welcome to the illini! I did not notice him using both hands when i watched this video before, even dunking with his left is pretty impressive.

From the videos, it is difficult to project the type of college player he will be. Very hard to determine if he can be physical as a 4/5 in college when he is playing 16/17 yo guys that are not his size. Good touch and great kid. Great "get" for Groce & Co.

6'10 & 235 and he's got the frame to fill up. He'll be just fine playing physical.

He's matched up against Austin Wiley a lot in that video. Austin Wiley is a five star player that's committed to Auburn and is listed at 6'10 and 250lbs.

Apologies, I should have qualified. I was referring to him as an underclassmen as it can take "bigs" a couple of years to stop growing and adding meat to the bone.

Not Tilmon, but some players have "baby fat" and the weight number is a little less meaningful when they are banging against stronger upperclassmen.
